CAMP BONDSTEEL, Kosovo— When international military police arrive on a crime scene in Kosovo, every miniscule detail could potentially make or break their case. Preserving the crime scene and collecting the forensic evidence, whether it’s a fingerprint or a shoe impression, could be the difference in whether a criminal walks free or faces trial for their crime.
U.S. Soldiers assigned to 554th Military Police Company discuss the training evolution they completed as part of a 96-hour Field Training Exercise (FTX) called Operation Mandalorian. The exercise consisted of various scenarios including simulated terrorist attacks and medical response procedures and was conducted in the Local Training Area, Boeblingen, Germany, from March 23 to March 26, 2015.
